Would like to see if the stereotype is true.

I, for one have not.

Yes.

lemme perch for the comments
Im out if I see a tarantula spider

I knew this would happen

I haven't. You don't see them in Melbourne, honestly.

I've lived in a country town, as well as the city and I have never been bitten by one. You hardly ever see them anyway.

Yep, it sucked the blood out of me and I was in the hospital for a week

never

No but I've been pretty close to. The other week I felt this tingling on my leg, went to scratch it but felt something weird when I touched it. I grabbed this thing in my hand with a tight grip, paused for a lil bit then opened my hand. It was huge damn spider and it quickly jumped off my hand and ran away somewhere.

And when I was 12 one day I decided no not wear socks with my shoes cuz I was so cool. But I felt something weird pressing against my toes on my right foot. I take off my shoe, reach into it, grab this thing, and pull it out. A damn spider.

There are spiders all over my house I h8 it

Canadians, eh

Whenever I mention Australia to my mom she says she wouldn't want to go there because she once saw an (acted) documentary where an Australian woman was bitten by a spider when she put her foot in her boot. It's just a prevalent stereotype that Australia has spiders, snakes, and all sorts of endemic fauna (they do have lots of unique animals).

I was about to say, I wish that second part happened to me Then I saw your location

I've never been stung by a bee, a wasp, or bitten by a spider or anything.

Mosquitos are the biggest threat in Sydney tbh.

Steve Irwin, "The Crocodile Hunter" died after being bitten by a venomous spider.
